"Oh?"

He Ying glanced at each other, then looked at Rin, and the black-haired boy also shook his head blankly, the three of them didn't recognize each other, it seemed that they were indeed complete strangers, so Qiao Sia couldn't help but feel a little strange. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The other two didn't recognize him, so why could the pastor do it?

He looked curiously at the tall middle-aged priest with a heavy scepter in his hand that could easily shatter his armor, and asked, "Do you know me?" ”

-- I'm afraid it's not just the blind who don't recognize it.

The bishop first looked at Kate and Jean, who were still on guard, with foolish eyes, then coughed, cleared his throat, and then stepped forward with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to Joshua, and said loudly: "I have heard your name for a long time, Lord Joshua Van Radcliffe, the dragon slayer lord of the Northlands, the master of Moldavia, you are really lucky to be here. ”

In order to remind those two guys, the bishop deliberately called a few more titles of Joshua, and Kate and Jean were not fools, the moment they heard the word dragon slayer, they immediately reacted to who the person in front of them was.

But even so, the two of them were still muttering to themselves in their hearts.

- Not at all!

――It doesn't match the information!

It's no wonder that these two, the heavily armored swordsman Kate, as the head of the fortress garrison, belongs to the imperial military system, he naturally knows the lord of the Moldavian Territory in the Northland next door, and pays close attention to the news of the other party, you must know that whether it is defeating the Black Tide, closing the space-time gate or slaying the dragon, this is all first-class big news, how can anyone not pay attention to this information?

However, the information in the army is not updated in time, and the portrait of Joshua in his hand is still the version from a few years ago, although the appearance of the two has not changed much, but the temperament of the warrior is too different, and it seems that he is not a person at all, and it is normal for him to be unable to distinguish under nervousness.

And the reason for this is even simpler - due to the poor flow of information, and Joshua is also relatively simple on weekdays, except for the imperial nobles who have a portrait of his appearance, his mercenary force basically has only one basic information about the big nobles like warriors, and it will not be updated for a long time, if it weren't for the bishop's special explanation, he wouldn't even think that the guy in front of him who looked like an evil demon king who ran out of some place was the lord of the territory next door.

Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is no need to continue the guard, and in a harmonious atmosphere, Joshua took Ying and Rin to meet with these high-ranking people of the Ural Mountains in turn, and had a friendly consultation.

Through conversations and self-introductions, Joshua learned that the bishop's name was Hig Dalral, he was originally the second son of a small local nobleman in the Ural Mountains, and was sent to the monastery of the imperial capital for further study when he became an adult.

"A lord can do what he does in his life, even if he has a ......"

In the family manor, his brother sighed like this from time to time, and Higg thought so, and as a gold-level person, he thought that he couldn't do anything, so when he faced Joshua, he had a trace of sincere admiration on his face.

"So, Lord Count, what are you going to do next?"

After learning that the previous Holy Light Pillar was caused by Joshua's previous curse and the natural reaction of a holy relic on his body to expel him, and later it was also to fight back that he made such a big noise, Kate, as the head of the garrison of the Ural Fortress, was not very embarrassed to ask for compensation.

You know, an imperial count being attacked in his jurisdiction is also a stain on his political career, the garrison of the Ural fortress has been in a high position for ten years, and there is nothing big to do, it is basically a springboard to a higher position, and the heavy armor swordsman naturally does not want to leave regrets on this perfect resume.

And Jean had already said goodbye and left, this mage was originally doing an experiment, since he figured out the reason for the appearance of the holy light before, he naturally didn't want to stay longer, after saying goodbye to the warrior, he used a spell and returned directly to his laboratory.

"Originally, I planned to travel slowly, and then teleport to the imperial capital when the time is almost up."

Joshua had just slaughtered two enemies who had cursed him along the space-time passage, and now he was in a good mood and had a lot more words: "Now it seems that it is better to go over early." ”

When he said this, it happened that the system also reminded him that the Extreme Intention Trial task was now completed by one-thirtieth of the time, and it seemed that the two existences on the other side of the space-time channel were both gold-level.

However, in this way, Joshua also felt a little strange, he naturally knew how far his strength had reached, but even if he was as powerful as him, he didn't have the confidence to kill two gold-level people with one punch.

――It seems that those two guys have been severely damaged by the power of the sages, otherwise even I would not have been able to kill a gold-level existence with one blow.

After thinking about it for a while, Joshua quickly guessed the reason for the previous victory, which made it much more reasonable, and thinking of the terrifying power of the sage, even he couldn't help but feel excited, and his heart was longing.

That's what he wants to pursue.

At this time, both Kate and Higg could see that the warrior had no patience to stay for the time being, so the two of them did not say much, and said goodbye one after another, waiting until they had time to see each other again.

To be honest, they were also very busy, since Joshua didn't come here to wreak havoc, and there was nothing else to do for the time being, so there was no need to keep an eye on them all the time, there were so many knights patrolling in the fortress that were enough to observe the movements of the warriors instead of them.

Joshua had no intention of staying longer, and after finding the coachman, paying the other party's salary, and letting the other party go back to Moldavia, the three of them simply walked towards the center of the Ural fortress.

The sudden curse of someone caused Joshua's alarm to some extent, but he had already guessed the identity of the enemy, the biggest advantage of the curse, the 'unknown' point had disappeared cleanly, and the warrior had the existence of the Azure Orb, so he didn't care much about it.

Joshua didn't even plan to shorten his trip if he wasn't worried that there would be more raids to delay him, but this didn't affect his plans to visit the huge city of the Ural Fortress, and at Ying's suggestion, the three warriors followed the artificial river to the streets of the city center with great interest.

The streets of the center of the Ural fortress are hung with the flags of many fortresses, and although they look crowded, most of the pedestrians are smiling, and the atmosphere of the city is peaceful, and there is no possibility of a dragon plague in the surrounding area.

The pillar of light that ran through the sky at the north gate was certainly shocking, but it had no follow-up, and the vision it caused did not affect everyone's lives, so after a brief exclamation, everyone discussed it as an interesting anecdote worth talking about, and no one thought of it as the trio walking on the street.

"Master, the bard in front of me sang very well, and Rin and I listened to it here before."

At Ying's suggestion, Joshua made a few turns, then came to a street corner, and when he looked up, he saw an elven bard with long ears, who had just finished telling a pioneering epic about King Ajax, and was now drinking water and resting to tell the next epic story.

Half of it was because of the recommendation of the silver-haired girl, and generally because it was because of nostalgia for this feeling, Joshua was ready to listen to it.

After a short break, the bard went back to action, and was about to start chanting a tale about the great migration of the elves thousands of years ago, a popular epic among the elves, about a series of momentous events in which the elves left their native forests to escape a natural disaster and traveled to the Far South and other islands.

The other party spoke clearly and in a beautiful tone, and after listening to it roughly, Joshua felt really good, so he smiled and paid for some rewards, dozens of golden flashes swirled, and jumped into the other party's box, causing the other people around to be amazed.

"Where did the local tyrant come from? Actually rewarded with gold coins! ”

"With so much money at once, I'm afraid Morlay won't be able to eat for a year this time."

The people around the bard seemed familiar, and they all knew each other's names, sometimes even calling them by their first names.

"Master, don't spend money like this...... You've tipped so much. ”

Rin, who was standing on the side, was originally listening carefully to the ballad of the elven bard, but after seeing Joshua's generous reward, he was immediately startled, and then admonished with some distress: "Liquidity is already a little difficult......

But Joshua didn't care: "I'm happy today, it doesn't matter if I spend a little more money." ”

"......" has come to this point, and Rin can't refute it, he originally looked at his sister with some annoyance, hoping for support, only to find that Ying was completely immersed in the story of the bard, and didn't notice anything else, and suddenly felt even more depressed.

Everyone spends money so aggressively, don't you know the hard work of financial management!

As Joshua had given a large number of rewards, the bard himself came to thank him, and the elf, who seemed to be relatively young, gave the warrior a bowing that was common to elves, and then gracefully retreated to the place, and continued to sing the ancient hymn like a ballad.

However, inadvertently, Joshua suddenly found that the corners of the other party's mouth seemed to be silently saying these words.

- We are watching you.

In the blink of an eye, Joshua looked at the corner of the bard's mouth again, but nothing unusual happened, and just when he thought it was a hallucination of the sequelae caused by the curse, he suddenly saw that a black ring-shaped emblem was embroidered on the cuff of this elf.
